Item 1. Summary Term Sheet; Item 4. Terms of the Transaction.
(1) The Expiration Date of the Offer is extended to 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Friday, November 20, 2009 (which is the end of the day on November 20, 2009). As of the close of business on October 19, 2009, approximately 39,399 Shares have been tendered in and not withdrawn from the Offer.

(3) The following is hereby added after the last sentence of the first paragraph of the response to the question “What does iBasis’s board of directors think of the Offer?” in the “Summary Term Sheet” of the Offer to Purchase:
“On October 15, 2009, after Parent increased the Offer Price from $1.55 per Share to $2.25 per Share, the Company issued a press release and filed Amendment No. 13 to the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC affirming the special committee’s determination and recommendation with respect to the revised Offer.”
Item 5. Past Contacts, Transactions, Negotiations and Agreements.
(1) The following is hereby added at the end of “Special Factors—Section 1—Background of the Offer” of the Offer to Purchase:
“On October 5, 2009, the Company requested that the Delaware Chancery Court postpone the hearing on the Company’s and Parent’s respective claims against each other, which was scheduled for October 8, 2009 and October 9, 2009, to allow the Company’s special committee and its advisors adequate time to evaluate the increased Offer Price. The Court has rescheduled the hearing for October 28, 2009 and October 29, 2009.
On October 9, 2009, the Company issued a press release and filed it as an exhibit to Amendment No. 12 to the Schedule 14D-9 announcing that the Company had received separate letters from two of the Company’s largest minority stockholders indicating their intention to reject the revised Offer. The press release stated that these two stockholders—Singer and Millennium—beneficially own approximately 4.2% and 3.6%, respectively, of the outstanding Shares.
On October 15, 2009, the Company issued a press release and filed Amendment No. 13 to the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC affirming the special committee’s determination and recommendation with respect to the revised Offer.”
Item 12. Exhibits.
(1) The following exhibits are filed herewith:
(a)(1)(xiii) Press release issued by Parent on October 20, 2009.
Item 13. Information Required by Schedule 13E-3.
Item 12. The Solicitation or Recommendation.
(1) The following is hereby added before the last sentence in fourth paragraph in the “Introduction” of the Offer to Purchase:
“On October 15, 2009, after Parent increased the Offer Price from $1.55 per Share to $2.25 per Share, the Company issued a press release and filed Amendment No. 13 to the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC affirming the special committee’s determination and recommendation with respect to the revised Offer.”
(2) The following paragraph is hereby added before the last paragraph under “Special Factors—Section 4—Position of the Company as to the Fairness of the Offer and Second-Step Merger” of the Offer to Purchase:
“On October 5, 2009, Parent increased the Offer Price from $1.55 per Share to $2.25 per Share. On October 15, 2009, the Company issued a press release and filed Amendment No. 13 to the Schedule 14D-9 with the SEC setting forth the special committee’s determination that the revised Offer is grossly inadequate and not in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, other than Parent and its affiliates, and stating the special committee’s recommendation that stockholders reject and not tender Shares in the revised Offer. The Company stated in Amendment No. 13 to the Schedule 14D-9 that, to its knowledge after making reasonable inquiry, the directors and executive officers of the Company who owned Shares on the date of the Schedule 14D-9 amendment did not then intend to tender or sell Shares in the revised Offer.”
